Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song[180g LP]

Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song, Amos Lee s fifth studio album, will be released on October 8 by Blue Note Records. Lee recorded the 12-song collection in Nashville with Jay Joyce (Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Eric Church, Cage the Elephant). <br><br>I've always enjoyed it down there, so I thought I'd bring my band and see how a bunch of Philly guys fit in, says Lee. Jay brings a musicality, a different kind of ear. He definitely hears things in ways that I don t, and brings out extra dimensions in the songs.<br><br>The convenient location allowed several remarkable guests to participate in the sessions. Alison Krauss joins Lee on Chill In The Air and Patty Griffin sings harmony on Mountains of Sorrow, a song inspired by Lee s visit to Levon Helm's barn in Woodstock, where he appeared at the legendary drummer's Midnight Ramble not long before Helm's death. Instrumentalists Jerry Douglas (Alison Krauss & Union Station), Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson and Family) and Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band) also contribute to the record.
